BREAKING: General Hospital writer drops major hint that Scott Reeves could return to ABC soap
When Liz recently mentioned on General Hospital that her brother Steven Webber had finally been released from prison, many fans wondered how long it would be before the guy found his way to Port Charles. Well, it turns out that he’ll be back very soon, and played once again by Scott Reeves!
TV Insider is reporting that Reeves will be back on GH starting with the Thursday, Oct. 24 episode, over ten years after he last aired as Steven in 2013.
“It felt like coming home,” Reeves admitted of returning to the studio. “I got to work the first day and it was early in the morning. It was just so weird driving up to Prospect [Studios] and going through the guard gate. Literally, from the moment I drove in, I was like, ‘Wasn’t it just a week ago that I left and I was pulling out of here?’”
Steven Webber was born to Jeff and Heather back in 1977. After a series of child actors, Shaun Benson portrayed the character as an adult from 2004-05. Reeves, who had previously starred as Ryan McNeil on The Young & The Restless from 1991-2001, took over the role in 2009.

The last time Steven was seen on screen was back in 2013 when he went to prison for killing a prisoner who was in a coma in order to harvest an organ to save the life of a little girl. “Steven did his time, he’s been out of prison for a few months now, and has been living in Sedona, Arizona, trying to start over and figure out what life is supposed to look like at this point,” Reeves explained. “He lost his medical license, obviously, when he went to prison but he felt justified in it.”
However, this return is not long-term, though there may be additional appearances in the future. “I would be totally open to coming back because I think there’s so much potential with Steven,” Reeves declared. “Anytime they want me back, I’m there.”
